again in the rest of your paper:

authors names whenever you cite the source in your paper:
Direct Quotations:
See section 3.34 (p. 117) of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th ed., for more on quotations and sources. In general, for a direct quote

Resource with page numbers:
